Abstract
When regeneration operation is being performed, electric power on a main-machine side is supplied to an auxiliary-machine side, a voltage on the auxiliary-machine side is controlled to become a first voltage value predetermined on the basis of operating voltage specifications of an auxiliary apparatus, a generator on the auxiliary-machine side is deactivated to stop supply of electric power to the auxiliary-machine side, and electric power on the auxiliary-machine side is supplied to a power storage apparatus. When the regeneration operation is ended, the supply of the electric power from the main-machine side to the auxiliary-machine side is stopped, the generator on the auxiliary-machine side is activated, the generator on the auxiliary-machine side is controlled such that a voltage on the auxiliary-machine side becomes the first voltage value, electric power of the power storage apparatus is supplied to the auxiliary-machine side, and the voltage on the auxiliary-machine side is controlled to become a second voltage value higher than the first voltage value. This enables reduction of fluctuations of a voltage supplied to auxiliary machines at a time of switching of regeneration operation by travel motors.
